Educate yourself and you’ll quickly see how all the regionals are always fighting over the same piece of “scope” pie. The only reason OO bought a “****” ton of 70 seat 175’s is because 76 seat scope is maxed out. It’s all ratioed at what’s going on at mainline in Section 1 of the PWA and regardless of what happens DCI scope on 76 seaters can’t grow more than where it’s at, unless a new agreement is made with Delta ALPA and Delta management. With that being said Bastian has come out and said they (DL) want to continue to reduce the DCI footprint as the A220 comes online and orders are received. These were both announced at the LEAD conference and Deltas Investor day...
